Call 112 (the police)

Do not assume that someone else has already called

You have three response options. You need to assess what is the best thing to do in your situation

An acute and life-threatening violent situation (PLIVO situation) is most likely over in the course of a few minutes. Therefore, you probably will not get any help while it takes place. You have to handle the situation yourself.

In these short e-learning lessons (3–5 minutes), you will learn what you can do in such situations.

Basic lesson:

• Acute and life-threatening violence (PLIVO)

Different topics:

• Run, Hide, Fight
• Know the premises
• When you have a leadership role
• First aid
• When the police arrive

• Do not intervene
• Call 112 (the police)
• Follow the instructions from the police
• Call the your place of study or work and tell them that the police are on their way
• If it is safe to do so, provide first aid

• Call out for help and try to get away
• Call 112 (the police)
• Follow the instructions from the police
• Call the place of study or work and tell them that the police are on their way

When you are very scared, it is easy to forget to breathe. However, you need oxygen to save yourself.

Imagine that you are in a PLIVO situation.

• Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds
• Hold your breath for 4 seconds
• Breathe out through your mouth for 4 seconds
• Hold the exhale for 4 seconds

It is possible to practice breathing techniques to calm you down in emergency situations. If you do this exercise regularly, there is a better chance that you will remember it if you need it.
